This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You're correct on ASU/UCLA, but only Maryland has made a by Domerduck

Final 4 from the Big 10 the last 15 years and as I said that was 1 year after they made the Final 4 the year before in the ACC. Still I believe both ASU/UCLA have made multiple Sweet 16s in those last 8 years as have several other PAC12 schools (Stanford, Oregon, & Oregon State). Other than Maryland, not sure there are any Big 10 schools that made multiple Sweet 16s since 2012.

My main point was UConn, Baylor, & South Carolina are good choices for a recruit as they currently dominate their conferences. Then choosing multiple options from the PAC12 & ACC make sense given they both have had multiple teams make the Final 4 in the last 8 years with the PAC12 having 5 different teams and the ACC having 4 different teams. Maryland is the lone Big 10 team to make it and as I said they have clearly underperformed in the NCAA tourney while in the Big 10. It's not surprising Betts (the top recruit in the nation) didn't have a Big 10 team on her list.
